Even with the FT debacle, the assists are what jumped out at me right away.

So far this season they've had good AST-FG and AST-TO ratios.

Tonight- 5-21 and 5-16. Oof.

Cubillan had an awful night and assist total would have been much higher had Lazar not bricked so many shots in first half.

At the risk of the all-out "you're an idiot" assault, is there a point where the whole "keep attacking" thing for some of Lazar's stuff stops?  The whole pound it inside and get stuffed five times but look like a genius when it works on the sixth or force up five bad jumpers and look like the savior when number six falls to put us back up by one...this tournament he went 9-22, 7-17, and 8-21.  Especially considering we were outrebounded in the first and third games that's a lot of possessions killed by a lot of missed field goal attempts, many of which are forced.  I'm sure a lot of it is that there just isn't enough firepower around him to carry the load and he is the best player, so hopefully other players can take some of the load off of him...to be honest, there are too many times when we can't count on anyone else to give us a basket yet and that is probably why too much of a load is falling on Lazar.  Butler's field goal percentage feels almost too high in that it still seems like he's afraid of making some mistakes, and if Buycks is at all a scorer he's got to take more than four shots in 34 minutes.

Impossible to insert an "Expletive"  First time in years I haven't during a game and it sure felt great.  This team busted their balls to the wall and I enjoyed every minute of it, win or lose.  Good times coming for yrs.

I concur. I was pissed for about 2min after the game until I realized this team will be outstanding and will exceed all my expectations. Outside of '03 and'08 I haven't been as excited as I am now to watch a team grow and play ball.

Yeah, kinda. Did you expect the Warriors to win the tourney? Did you even expect them to beat Xavier? Certainly very few people expected them to beat Michigan. Yeah, it wouldve been nice to beat FSU, however this team will recover. It's a young team that will be in the top 1/3 of the Big East at the end of the year.

Yeah, kinda did expect them to win the tourney when they had a 17 point lead in the second half of the title game.  Didn't you?

With this team, at this point in the season I can better tolerate a loss where were fall apart at the end than where we just look terrible and get dominated the whole way.  While the loss is inexcusable, there are plenty of positives to bring away like, "Hey, we did better than just play with these guys for most of the game.  Now we need to figure out how to finish."

Remember, no player on this team has ever been the goto guy at the end of a game playing D1 ball. They need to figure that out and in time I am confident they will.  That is fixable.

You know what really sticks in my craw?  People who use the word "inexcusable" in one sentence and then make excuses in the next.

Rather than just use words that people in the media use (incorrectly most times) drop the buzz words and form an original thought.

But on Thursday morning, before a game was played, did you have any thought in your head of MU winning all 3 games this weekend. I for one didn't. I was hoping for a well fought game each time but most likely a loss to Xavier or Michigan.  When that didn't happen, I thought our aggressive play could wear out FSU's guards and get a victory.  Had we hit so many of the missed shots we took early or had Butler made half of his free throws, we win. I was pissed last night when we collapsed in the second half.  That doesn't mean I'm not happy with the overall result of the weekend.  Going 2-1 and beating two likely tournament teams while losing to a third is nice to see.

We were gassed in the second half because of our style.  FSU played slow the first two games they had and with their size advantage, they were able to keep fresh longer.  It also helps having a height advantage even when they played with 4 guards.

It's not about expectations before the game. 

When we had double digit leads on Thursday and Friday I expected us to win the game.  When we led by 17 yesterday I expected the same.  Saying you are happy with losing in the final is like Elin saying she's happy that Tiger only cheated once.  Not buyin' it.
